Learn Something New This ChristmasWe hate to admit it, but after reading the same Luke 2 story of Christmas for years--or even decades-- we get a little bored. We lose some of the awe we ought to have when contemplating the greatest miracle in history. That's why The Characters of Christmas was written, to help you take a fresh look at the Christmas story by getting to know the minor characters that played a part in Jesus' birth. You'll read about: JosephZechariah and ElizabethMaryThe Angels The InnkeeperThe ShepherdsThe Wise MenHerodSimeon and AnnaJesus's Surprising AncestorsAnd as you slow down, engage your imagination, and enter into the stories of these men and women, you'll see the most important character--Jesus Christ--with new eyes. And with discussion questions and a Christmas song suggestion at the end of each chapter, it's perfect for engaging your whole family. Break free from the familiar, and discover untold treasures in the story you thought you knew.

A New Look at the Ancient Story of Creation.Most Christians are familiar with the opening words of Genesis: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." But push beyond those iconic words, and sometimes the details get a little hazy. And strange. God walked around in a garden? Eve was made from Adam's rib? A talking serpent? And what the in the world were the "Nephilim"? In The Characters of Creation, Daniel Darling reintroduces readers to the story they thought they knew. He explains the Bible's story of how we got here and how things got messed up, and gives fresh insights into the first people in God's unfolding plan of redemption.You'll read about: Adam & EveSatanCain & AbelSeth, Enoch & LamechThe NephilimNoahShem, Ham & Japheth
